Strongest daedric prince?

[religion]

Jyggalag is in my opinion the strongest

[Lothic]

hermaeus mora - he knows everything

[heisenberg]

Hircine-because werewolves

[DrNewcenstein]

Jyggalag is bound to order, thus he is limited to maintaining a certain balance. In a one-on-one with any other Daedric Prince, he'd actually lose because of that.

Knowing everything and being able to do anything with that knowledge are two different things. Hermaeus Mora is the Stephen Hawking of Daedric Princes.

Hircine has a wide selection of beasts to choose from besides werewolves, but as was proven, Sheogorath beat his most ferocious construct with a tiny bird.

It is a matter of lore that the Daedric Prince are all evenly matched, at least as far as their overall ability and how much of Oblivion they govern. However, it did take the other 15 combining their power and ganging up on Sheogorath to curse him into Jyggalag.

And then you have Malacath, who was Trinimac, who was as powerful an Aedra as Auriel, and is actually a living turd that was shat from Boethia's bung-hole, so he's an Aedra that was turned into a Daedra by a more powerful Daedra.

So then the evidence points to Boethia as being the strongest.

Yeah, he got that backwards. Jyggalag was turned into Sheogorath.

Jyggalag was the strongest, being turned into Sheogorath has obviously changed that.
After that Mehrunes Dagon is the strongest, since he was the only Daedra capable of physically entering Nirn.
Hermaeus Mora is the most devious and capable of the greatest influence, but that is different to shear strength.

Yeah, it was Jyggalag who got cursed and turned into Sheogorath.

In the time before recorded history, Jyggalag's realm of perfect order expanded across the seas of Oblivion, and the other Daedric Princes had grown fearful and jealous of him. They cursed him to live as Sheogorath, the incarnation of the thing he hated most: madness

Boethiah ate a god and pooped out a Daedric Lord.

I'd say Jyggalag, but he doesn't exist anymore (since the Hero of Kvatch killed the previous Sheogorath, which was, in essence, Jyggalag), so... Hermaeus Mora. He sounds goofy, but man, this guy is basically omniscient.

[voehringer_nitron]

Sheogorath returned to being Jyggalag and the Hero of Kvatch became the new Sheogorath.

You sure? I played Oblivion back in 2015 and I'm pretty sure he died for good (specially because he doesn't even appear in Skyrim).

If the Shivering Isles thing is actually canon, then yes. After you defeat Jyggalag it breaks the cycle of him transforming. He stays as Jyggalag and the HoK becomes the new Sheogorath.

Lol, I was sure he died. But if he didn't, why there's no sign of him in Skyrim (the game, not the country itself)?

IIRC he basically says he's heading to some forgotten corner of Oblivion to rebuild his power base so he might not be ready to meddle in mortal affairs just yet.

Ohh, I see. Man, I hope he appears as a major character in TES VI's main storyline or something (or at least a DLC focused on him).
